The explanation has arrived. Yes, under new, 240 hour visa free transit scheme, your route is eligible and you can enjoy this brand new visa free transit scheme. You should just be aware that you will have to apply for a temporary entry permit at the very first stop in China, in your case in Beijing. So, immediately upon landing in Beijing, you will approach 240 hour visa free transit counter where you will present your flight tickets. After a short check, your temporary entry permit will be issued and you will proceed to your flight to Shanghai. Please, have in mind that after Shanghai the first landing has to be in a country or eligible territory (eligible territories are Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) that is different than Canada.
